Jordanian sheikh: Allah gave the land of Israel to the Jews (update)

Al Quds and other Arab media outlets published this amazing article this weekend:

Jordanian sheikh: Allah gave the land of Israel to the Jews

Sheikh Ahmad Adwan, who introduces himself as a Muslim scholar who lives in Jordan, said on his personal Facebook page that there is no such thing as “Palestine” in the Koran. Allah has assigned the Holy Land to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment (Koran, Sura 5 – “The Sura of the Table”, Verse 21), and “We made the Children of Israel the inheritors (of the land)” (Koran, Sura 26 – “The Sura of the Poets”, Verse 59).

“I say to those who distort their Lord’s book, the Koran: From where did you bring the name Palestine, you liars, you accursed, when Allah has already named it “The Holy Land” and bequeathed it to the Children of Israel until the Day of Judgment. There is no such thing as ‘Palestine’ in the Koran. Your demand for the Land of Israel is a falsehood and it constitutes an attack on the Koran, on the Jews and their land. Therefore you won’t succeed, and Allah will fail you and humiliate you, because Allah is the one who will protect them (i.e. the Jews).”

The sheikh added: “The Palestinians are the killers of children, the elderly and women. They attack the Jews and then they use those (children, the elderly and women) as human shields and hide behind them, without mercy for their children as if they weren’t their own children, in order to tell the public opinion that the Jews intended to kill them. This is exactly what I saw with my own two eyes in the 70’s, when they attacked the Jordanian army, which sheltered and protected them. Instead of thanking it (the Jordanian army), they brought their children forward to (face) the Jordanian army, in order to make the world believe that the army kills their children. This is their habit and custom, their viciousness, their having hearts of stones towards their children, and their lying to public opinion, in order to get its support.”

It is worth mentioning, that the above mentioned sheikh visited Israel and met Jewish religious scholars. The “Israel in Arabic” site conducted an interview with him, in which he said that the reason for his openness towards the Jewish people “comes from my acknowledgment of their sovereignty on their land and my belief in the Koran, which told us and emphasized this in many places, like His (Allah’s) saying ”Oh People (i.e the Children of Israel), enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned unto you” (Koran, Sura 5 – “The Sura of the Table”, Verse 21), and His saying “We made the Children of Israel the inheritors (of the land)” (Koran, Sura 26 – “The Sura of the Poets”, Verse 59) and many other verses.

He (Adwan) added: “(The Jews) are peaceful people who love peace, who are not hostile and are not aggressors, but if they are attacked, they defend themselves while causing as little damage to the attackers as possible. It is an honor for them that Allah has chosen them over the worlds – meaning over the people and the Jinns until the Day of Judgment. I made the reasons for Allah’s choice clear in my books and pamphlets. When Allah chose them, He didn’t do so out of politeness, and He wasn’t unjust other peoples, it is just that they (the Jews) deserved this.”

The Israel in Arabic site, which appears to be an Israeli site, has a much fuller interview in Arabic.

When Adwan visited Safed (Tzfat), it was covered by Israel’s Orot TV:

ערוץ אורות- למי שייכת ארץ ישראל – Orot Channel – To whom does the Land of Israel belong [Jordanian sheikh: Allah gave the land of Israel to the Jews]

Orot – Jewish Television 30December2012

(h/t Ibn Boutros)

UPDATE: A friend contacted Mudar Zahran, the famous Zionist Jordanian, and he wrote that from what he could find out, Adwan is a fraud:

Sheikh Majed Al-Odoan, chief of the Odoan tribe, tells the media that “Sheikh” Ahmad Al-Odoan [who made pro-Israeli comments] has never been a member of the Odoan tribe”, and that the tribe “does not even know who he is in the first place”, our sources confirm the man is a retired Jordanian Postal Service ministry officer, with no history of him being a tribal “Sheikh” nor an Islamic “Sheikh”.

What does a bride do at the vigil on her wedding day?

Women in Green

We are going now into our sixth day of the vigil. The response by the people and by so many politicians, who all come to identify with the message of Sovereignty, is overwhelming and very moving. The People of Israel are strong, love Eretz Yisrael and want their Prime Minister to stand firm.

1) What does a bride do at the mother’s vigil on her wedding day?

On Wednesday, the fourth day of the vigil, activity in the tent of the vigil with the motto “The Mothers say YES to Israeli Sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley” continued to gain momentum. Many public figures came to the tent as well. Mothers from throughout the land came to express solidarity.

The surprise of the day was when Sapir Sabah arrived with her mother, Nurit, directly from the Knesset. Sapir displays leadership ability. She does not accept the results of the hearing for her teacher of Jewish Philosophy, who criticized the IDF and its soldiers saying that our army is not ethical and that this land is not ours. “I would give up if he was sorry and had expressed regret, but he continues his incitement.”

Next came Rebbetzin Shani Taragin, who, in honor of the month of Adar, brought biblical references to overeignty from the Scroll of Esther, from the passage “Each person rules in his house”. The passage implies that the People of Israel must be sovereign in its Land. The lesson ended with the connection between oshua’s conquest and Purim. Just as the Holy One, blessed be He, aided Joshua in girding himself to be ourageous, so the Holy One, blessed be He, will help if we make an effort and take initiative.

There was a surprise awaiting MK Moti Yogev of the Bayit HaYehudi (Jewish Home) party after he finished his ords of blessing and solidarity to the organizers and spoke about the importance of applying sovereignty over the entire Land of Israel. A bride in a white dress came to the tent. She wanted to enter the wedding canopy only after having done a deed for the national home, before building her private home.

The bride is Efrat Leshem, the granddaughter of the Ganiram family, who are among the founders of ommunities in Hebron and the Golan Heights.

If, even on the day of her wedding, a bride sees fit to take part in the national struggle, then the People of Israel will surely be victorious.

During the evening Yochai Dimri, the new energetic head of the Council of South Hebron, came to the tent, as well as MK Moshe Feiglin, Rebbetzin Lior, Rabbi Yisrael Dorminetzer from the Jordan Valley with his family, Rabbi Haim Greenspan and Sarah Eliash.

The vigil, organized by Women in Green in cooperation with Matot Arim and Professors for a Strong Israel, continues on Thursday, Friday and Sunday.

מה עשו כלה וספיר סבח במאהל האמהות?

מול בית ראש הממשלה מסכמים יום נוסף של משמרת הקריאה לריבונות. רבנים, רבניות, חברי כנסת ואישי ציבור לצד אורחות מפתיעות.

אבי יוגב , Feb 6, 2014 ו’ באדר תשע”ד משמרת האימהות היום הרביעי

משמרת האימהות היום הרביעי

במשמרת האמהות מול בית ראש הממשלה מסכמים את היום הרביעי להקמת המשמרת כיום מרגש במיוחד בעיקר לנוכח האורחים המיוחדים שהגיעו למקום כדי להביע את תמיכתם במהלך ובקריאה המרכזית העולה ממנו: כן לריבונות ישראל על כל שטחי יהודה ושומרון.

במהלך היום הגיעו למקום, לצד מאות ואלפי תומכים מרחבי הארץ גם הנערה ספיר סבח שהובילה את המאבק נגד התבטאויותיו השמאלניות-קיצוניות של המורה אדם ורטה, הרבנית אסתר ליאור, הרבנית שני טרגין, חבר הכנסת מוטי יוגב, סגן יו”ר הכנסת, חבר הכנסת משה פייגלין, יוחאי דמרי, שרה אליאש ורבים אחרים.

נזכיר כי את משמרת האמהות הקימה תנועת ‘נשים בירוק’ בשיתוף עם תנועת ‘מטות ערים’ וחוג הפרופסורים לחוסן מדיני וכלכלי. ראשי ‘נשים בירוק’, יהודית קצובר ונדיה מטר, מספרות כי “הפתעת היום הייתה כאשר למאהל הגיעה ספיר סבח עם אמה נורית הישר מהכנסת. ספיר מגלה יכולות מנהיגותיות. היא אינה מקבלת את תוצאות השימוע שהיה למורה שלה למחשבת ישראל אשר התגולל על צה”ל וחייליו באומרו שצבאנו אינו מוסרי ושהארץ הזאת לא שלנו”, הם אומרות ומספרות כי סבח הצעירה סיפרה שהייתה “מוותרת לו אם הוא היה מצטער ומתחרט, אך הוא ממשיך להסית”.

לאחר מכן הגיעה למקום הרבנית שני טרגין שנשאה דברים ובהם קשרה בין חודש אדר לקריאת הריבונות. הרבנית טרגין הזכירה בדבריה את הפסוק “כל איש שורר בביתו” כרמז לחובתו של עם ישראל לנהוג בארצו כבעל בית. עוד הזכירה את הקשר בין כיבוש יהושע לפורים, ובתפילה כי כשם שהקב”ה עזר ליהושע שהתחזק והתאמץ כך גם בימינו יעזור לנו הקב”ה אם נתחזק, נתאמץ וניזום.

למקום הגיע גם חבר הכנסת מוטי יוגב, איש הבית היהודי, שנשא גם הוא דברי ברכה וחיזוק למארגני משמרת האמהות תוך שהוא מדגיש בדבריו את חשיבות החלת הריבונות הישראלית על כל חלקי ארץ ישראל. תוך כדי דבריו הגיעה למאהל כלה בשמלה לבנה שסיפרה כי החליטה שתיכנס לחופתה רק לאחר שתשתתף במעשה לאומי לפני בניית ביתה הפרטי, ולכן באה להזדהות במאהל האמהות ועם הקריאה לריבונות.

קצובר ומטר שהופתעו גם הן למראה הכלה במאהל שהקימו, מספרות כי הכלה היא אפרת לשם, נכדתם של משפחת גנירם ממייסדי חברון ורמת הגולן. “אם כלה ביום חופתה מוצאת לנכון להגיע למאבק לאומי, אזי עם ישראל לבטח ינצח”, הן אומרות.

כאמור בהמשך הערב הגיעו למאהל יוחאי דמרי, ראש המועצה החדש של דרום הר חברון, סגן יו”ר הכנסת חבר הכנסת משה פייגלן, הרבנית ליאור, הרב ישראל דורמינצר מבקעת הירדן, הרב חיים גרינספן ואשת החינוך שרה אליאש.

יצוין כי המשמרת המאורגנת ע”י נשים בירוק מטות ערים וחוג הפרופסורים לחוסן מדיני וכלכלי תימשך גם היום, יום חמישי, מחר יום שישי ותיחתם ביום ראשון.

Israel: The World’s First Modern Indigenous State

Indigenous Rights and Israel: A Historical Perspective

Barbara Kay: No, Arabs aren’t Israel’s “indigenous” people

You have heard the term “Fake News” how about “Fake Heritage” created by the Terrorist Arab Palestinians and their BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions of Israel) movement. The Arabs claim that they are the “Real Indigenous People” and make claims such as “Jesus was a Palestinian”. Well the hard, evidence based, facts say otherwise.

There is a check list of who is a Real Indigenous People and who is a Colonizing and Imperial people

Did you force your language on other people
Did you force your religion on other people
Did you claim and take over other people’s sacred sites
Do you deny indigenous people the right to self-determination on land that you conquered
Did you conquer a large percentage of the known world

If you answer Yes, to most or all of the above questions and the Arabs must answer yes to all. While the Jews can legitimately say no to all of them then you are in fact a colonizing and Imperial people not an oppressed or colonized people.

The short version of these questions is:
Did you take other people’s stuff and claim it as your own? (The Temple Mount, Hebron)
If you did, you are guilty of creating a fake heritage.

Israel: The World’s First Modern Indigenous State

16January2014 https://unitedwithisrael.org/israel-the-worlds-first-modern-indigenous-state/

The following essay by Ryan Mervin Bellerose a pro-Israel native-rights activist in Alberta, Canada – first published on the israellycool blog (israellycool.com) and then on Calgary United with Israel – explains “why Jews are indigenous to the Land of Israel and why Palestinians are not.”

Ryan Mervin Bellerose, speaking on Canada’s Sun News, speaks out against boycotting Israel.

I am a Métis from Paddle Prairie Metis settlement [in Canada]. My father, Mervin Bellerose, co-authored the Métis Settlements Act of 1989, which was passed by the Alberta legislature in 1990 and cemented our land rights. I founded Canadians for Accountability, a native rights advocacy group, and I am an organizer and participant in the Idle No More movement in Calgary. And I am a Zionist.

To begin, let us acknowledge that there is no rule that a land can have only one indigenous people; it is not a zero sum game in which one group must be considered indigenous so that therefore another is not. However, there is a very clear guideline to being an indigenous people. It is somewhat complex but can be boiled down to the checklist below, as developed by anthropologist José R. Martínez-Cobo, former special rapporteur of the Sub-commission on Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities for the United Nations.This list was developed because indigenous rights are beginning to be respected across the planet. This recognition is incredibly important, so we as indigenous people cannot allow non-indigenous people to make false claims, which ultimately would harm our own rights.

Israel is the world’s first modern indigenous state: the creation and declaration of the sovereign nation of Israel marks the first time in history that an indigenous people has managed to regain control of its ancestral lands and build a nation state. As such, this is incredibly important for indigenous people both to recognize and to support as a great example for our peoples to emulate.

WHAT IS AN INDIGENOUS PEOPLE?

The actual working definition of “indigenous people” (not the Wikipedia version, nor Merriam Webster, both more suited to plants and animals) for purposes of this essay is that developed by aforementioned anthropologist José R. Martínez-Cobo. With this as my foundation, I will detail why Jews are indigenous to Israel, and why Palestinians are not.
Martinez-Cobo’s research suggests that indigenous communities, peoples and nations are those which, having a historical continuity with pre-invasion and pre-colonial societies that developed on their territories, consider themselves distinct from other sectors of the societies now prevailing on those territories, or parts of them. They form at present non-dominant sectors of society and are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territories, and their ethnic identity, as the basis of their continued existence as peoples, in accordance with their own cultural patterns, social institutions and legal system.

This historical continuity may consist of the continuation, for an extended period reaching into the present of one or more of the following factors:- Occupation of ancestral lands, or at least of part of them

– Common ancestry with the original occupants of these lands
– Culture in general, or in specific manifestations (such as religion, living under a tribal system, membership of an indigenous community, dress, means of livelihood, lifestyle, etc.)
– Language (whether used as the only language, as mother-tongue, as the habitual means of communication at home or in the family, or as the main, preferred, habitual, general or normal language)
– Residence in certain parts of the country, or in certain regions of the world
– Religion that places importance on spiritual ties to the ancestral lands
– Blood quantum – that is, the amount of blood you carry of a specific people to identify as that people. The concept was developed by colonialists in order to eventually breed out native peoples.Let us now look quickly at the Jews.

How do they fit this definition?

Their lands were occupied, first by the Romans, then by the Arabs in the seventh century.

They share common ancestry with previous occupants as determined by several genetic studies.

Their culture can be traced directly to the Levant, where it developed into what is now known as “Jewish culture.” While different Jewish communities have slightly different traditions, they all share the same root culture, and it remains unchanged. They have resurrected their traditional language, and while many still speak Yiddish and Ladino, Hebrew has become the primary language again.They have spiritual ties to the land, which plays a large role in their traditions as a people. Despite all the arguments about “European” Jews, they in fact meet all the criteria set forth by Martínez-Cobo.

JUDEA AND SAMARIA ARE JEWISH ANCESTRAL LANDS

Archaeological evidence of the Tabernacle exists in the modern Jewish city of Shilo. (Temple Institute)

Even though Israel is the first modern indigenous state, it still has lands that are occupied by foreigners in Judea and Samaria.

Those are ancestral lands, and many feel that they should be returned to the indigenous peoples for self-determination.

Now, for the flip side.

Palestinians have what are called “rights of longstanding presence,” and although these are legitimate rights, they do not trump indigenous rights. The very nature of “longstanding presence” means that although they lived somewhere a long time, they do not have the right to occupy indigenous peoples and control them.

The argument that Palestinians are indigenous is incorrect for several reasons.

Approximately 50% percent of Palestinian Arabs can track their ancestors back farther than their great-grandparents. Many are descended from Arabs brought to the Levant by the British to build infrastructure after World War I.

The vast majority of Palestinians are Arabic speaking Muslims; the Arabic language is indigenous to the Arabian Peninsula, as is the Muslim religion. The Muslim religion’s holiest places are not in the Levant, but in the city of Mecca, located in the Arabian Peninsula. They have no specifically Palestinian culture that is completely Palestinian dating before the 1960s; in fact, prior to that, the majority identified as “greater Syrians.”

Some Palestinians share common ancestry with indigenous peoples, but they neither follow indigenous traditions nor do they self-identify as those indigenous peoples. They share neither religion nor language with them. Blood quantum alone is insufficient to transmit indigenous status.

The Arabs of the Middle East subsumed several indigenous populations, but no group can become indigenous through subsuming indigenous peoples.

Rather, they conquered the entire region and spread their own language, customs, and religion.

This is historical fact.
Now you might ask: why is this important? It is important to indigenous people because we cannot allow the argument that conquerors can become indigenous. If we, as other indigenous people, allow that argument to be made, then we are delegitimizing our own rights.

PALESTINIAN CLAIMS ARE ‘DANGEROUS TO INDIGENOUS PEOPLE EVERYWHERE’

Rachel’s Tomb near Bethlehem (Photo: The Friends of Rachel’s Tomb)

If conquerors can become indigenous, then the white Europeans who came to my indigenous lands in North America could now claim to be indigenous. The white Europeans who went to Australia and New Zealand could now claim to be indigenous. If we, even once, allow that argument to be made, indigenous rights are suddenly devalued and meaningless. This is somewhat peculiar, as those who are arguing for Palestinian “indigenous rights” are usually those who have little grasp of the history, and no understanding of the truth behind indigenous rights.

If you should encounter the argument that conquerors may themselves become indigenous to a region by virtue of conquering, direct those who assert the argument to this article, and help them understand not only is the argument wrong – it is dangerous to Indigenous people everywhere.
